Americans don't need kettles

when i get my own home im putting one of those wall mounter instant 80 degree water heaters.

 

nnnaaa we will have kettles for years

you cant makie a pot noodle as a pot noodle (if you dont have them in america) is a plastic pot that has dired noodles with powdered flavouring in that you pour hot water inot & the kettle is the quickest way to do it, boiling onthe hob takes forever

even tho every home ash a microwave (we have 3 in our house) the kettle will stay with us for ages

 

we have the roman noodles in the cup, just like what you are describing. You just pour warm (or cold) water from the tap, stick in the microwave for a minute, and it's dome

 

What exactly is your perception of 'kettle'? Simply a vessel with a 'pour spout' to boil water with? Or something else? I've always lived around that kind of kettle. Would seem odd to not have one. My lineage is mostly Irish and English though.

 

Well mine is too, but we did away with stuff like that with the advent of the microwave

 

well, up here in the great white north, we have kettles, and we use them for tea.....one of the annoying habbits that seems to have been carried over from our brit rule days......were not relegious about it though, no dropping everything in the after noon for a tea break ...but if i dont get my coffee, im super ****ed.....

 

Yeah, I have a question. Is there an actual "Tea Time"? if so when is it? or is it just whenever you feel like drinkig it?

 

of course we have kettles.. and their not just for tea ya know..

their good for boiling water for my instant coffee, just as good for boiling water for some Cup-O-Noodles..

Hrm... I've got a 1400 Watt (or so) microwave that cooks most things toward the low end of package directions. Stove still boils water faster.

 

Tea sux0rz dude!!!!1

And I'm in the uk :d

 

I never drink tea.
I rarely drink coffee.


Living without a kettle still sounds like madness!




Pot noondles am teh daddeh tho! (Bombay Badboy ownz j00!)

 

Kettles are a neccessity for pot noodles. As for coffee, forget it... TAKE SOME PRO PLUS!! <buzzing>

 

silly people.
(actually tea time in my house is the evening meal and we have it when it is ready.)

and the reason people use kettles to boil water is because its a hell of a lot faster than sticking it in abig pot. once its boiled then you put it in the pot. you dont cook the rice in the kettle

 

That might explain why it is such a pain to get it into the spout.

 

A kettle??? What's that?? I microwave alot of stuff and only boil water if im fixin spaghetti or something that I have to boil noodles for.
